Well since going to WB2.04 I've encountered some problems, but nothing I couldn't straighten out. But now I have discovered that WordPerfect is dropping the bottom half of the letters on the first third of the left side of my screen. I can't figure out why this is happening and I would like to know if any other WP users who have switched to WB2.04 have encountered this phenomenon and found a way to combat it? I'm using WP 4.1.11 and have not changed anything but the OS in my system. Thanks, Chris

Chris, You need the update to WP 4.1.12.

This problem showed up under 1.3 if you had an accelerator. 1.3's MicroEmacs also had the same problem. WP has a bug where they don't waitblit() and I guess they busyloop or something. You should see how bad it gets with an 040. You lose the entire left 1/3 of the line (every row of pixels!). Denny is right, though. WP 4.1.12 does indeed fix this and the screen is a OK as it was before I accelerated. -Greg send

Greg, Thanks for the info on WB 4.1.12. I called WPCorp and the fix is on the way! Chris
